Appraisal
Located in the centre of Balinspittle, this disused public house is a prominent feature of the streetscape. Its unusual dormer windows are unique in the village, and together with other historic features including a slate roof, cast-iron rainwater goods and timber sash windows, add character to both the building and the streetscape.
